Ironheart has welcomed and then demolished many characters over the two and a half years of its run; many, even Most of those characters are now deceased. Those that currently survive do so against the odds; these are their summaries.

This page will help us to keep each others' characters straight. Please feel free to add Trope examples to your own character's entry or the entry of others. Also, updating your own health status and a brief paragraph (we're shooting for 250-300 words at the most) describing your character and a summary of where they are now would be immensely helpful. Later on, we might get a quick summary of the events that have already befallen your character in-game in there too. A little Wiki Magic and we'll have this thing looking brilliant in no time!

Red Right Hand — During the first part of Escape From Ironheart, Korram's right hand was constantly on fire. Even after it was no longer permanent, this was still his preferred method of fighting.

Badass Normal — Even after losing Calcifer, Korram manages to do quite well for himself.

Discard and Draw — after ejecting Calcifer from his body, Korram makes a deal with Purifier, another Lord of the Inferno, who perfectly fuses with him, granting him his old fire powers back, as well as Shapeshifting powers.

The Hero — A Deconstruction. Korram seemed like a classic example when he was a resistance leader, but his actions were motivated primarily by hatred and rage, and he severely neglected his daughter in the process.

At the same time, Korram is a genuinely good person, when he isn't being controlled by his negative emotions or lying fire spirits.

Revenge — His motivation for most of Escape and Flight.

Deal with the Devil — not a classical example, but Korram's deal With Purifier comes with a lot of strings. To a lesser extent, his deal with the Baron at the end of Escape From Ironheart.

Blessed with Suck — Korram's borrowed flames are extremely powerful, but each incarnation of the ability has come with serious drawbacks, ranging from being constantly on fire to sharing a body with another being, who is not very happy about the situation to being slowly brainwashed into a suicide bomber by a Manipulative Bastard.

Dangerous Forbidden Technique — Banefire, which can consume literally anything, even souls. It also slowly destroys the user, until there is nothing left.

Tare

Player: OverWilliam

Status: Alive

Action Survivor — Mostly his shtick to this point; though he doesn't have any super powers, improbable fencing skills, or terribly reliable spellcasting, Tare has survived his way through the toughest prison in the world and then Hell itself and came out the other side alive.

Big Brother Instinct — One of the most defining characteristics of Tare's life; this trait has had a major impact on nearly every event in the game, and even on most of those leading up to the in-game storyline.

Chaotic Good — Though he obviously doesn't have much regard for law or order, he is quite firmly on team 'Good'.

How Do I Shot Web? — Being a street rat, Tare has never had formal training— and even if he had access to such, his spellcasting ability has remained a carefully hidden Ace-In-The-Whole when dealing with other mundane thieves of the Guild. He seems to be figuring out more and more as the game progresses.

The Runaway — Tare's backstory. Was once the eldest of a large family, partially explaining his protective instincts for those in trouble around him; exact motivations for leaving are unexplored.

To Hell and Back — Played straight. Tare got sent there by accident in the middle of the Herald's return, and clawed his way out tooth and claw (and brought a new friend with him).

Shock and Awe — Though to that point most of his abilities were of Utility value, while raiding the Screaming Estate Tare's magical talent manifested electrically.

Silver Needles — Collected from the torture chamber where Ironheart guards were tormenting his now-MIA werewolf companion, Tare used the silver needles to devastating effect against demons encountered in the Dark Forest.

Stripperiffic — A rare male example, Tare removed his shirt while in the Screaming Estate to appear more like a male bondage slave (it helped him blend in, under the circumstances— long story).

Super Speed — Tare accidentally stumbled onto this spell-like ability while running after the elves shortly after arriving in Hell. Prolonged use exhausts his magical stamina very quickly; seems to be progressing toward Flash Step levels as he experiments with shorter bursts coupled with higher speeds.
